Article Abstract
There is a knowledge gap on the epidemiology of inflammatory bowel disease in Africa. To begin to address this issue, we formed a case reporting network of practitioners with an interest in inflammatory bowel disease across sub-Saharan Africa. Here, we report a series of 175 cases from 12 countries over 2 years.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is an important risk factor for brain cognitive impairment, but the specific mechanism is still unclear. The imbalance of gut microbiota under pathological conditions (such as an increase in pathogenic bacteria) may be involved in the occurrence of various diseases. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of increased abundance of gut Citrobacter rodentium on cognitive function in T2D mice.

Objective: Chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is a rare autoinflammatory bone disease associated with other chronic inflammatory diseases such as familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), spondylarthropathies, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and pyoderma gangrenosum. We aimed to describe the clinical and follow-up characteristics of patients with CNO and to compare findings between patients with and without comorbidities.
Methods: The clinical records of patients with CNO who were followed up in our pediatric rheumatology clinic between 2018 and 2023 were reviewed.

Background: The ACS-NSQIP Colectomy-Targeted database provides valuable metrics on surgical outcomes by utilizing clinical data to enhance quality improvement efforts. However, the quality measures offered in the ACS-NSQIP semiannual report do not stratify for the indication for colectomy. We aim to compare postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing colectomy for colon cancer, infectious causes, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Impairment of gut barrier integrity is associated with the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer, and coeliac disease. While many aspects of diet have been linked to improved barrier function, (poly)phenols, a broad group of bioactive phytochemicals, are of potential interest. The (poly)phenolic sub-class, flavan-3-ols, have been investigated in some detail owing to their abundance in commonly consumed foods, including grapes, tea, apples, cocoa, berries, and nuts.
